The Engagement Ring.

SOME POINTS FOR YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG NAIDENS
ON AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT.
The latitude allowed in the choice OF that baube
known as the engagement ring" says the Phila-
delphia Enquirer, Increases constantly, fashion be-
Ing graciously considerable OF q mans bank &C
count, and, for once, In touch with sentiment
1t is even allowable to be engaged without any
ring, though l can't say 1t is a proper state OF
affairs, for girls must be very much In love or have
ugly hands. to submit to mo rings" Diamonds
are not imperative, but II they are, behold, they
are married 10 pearls, rubes and even TO the Dart
Ing. fiery opal. One OF the tenderest and lOvelest
examples OF sentiment in this direction is
the betrOthal ring made In Paris for a
young woman who Will one OF these days
go there as the wife of a man OF wealth and dis
tinctioD. He could have given priceless gem;
instead, she wears plain band OF gold W th only
three Roman letters, "Ma," In diamonds set in
the surface. For maidens who have an eye for the
main chance this is not much OF a ring. The giver
OF pink sapphire need not be exactly color blind
but he should be rich. and the Iamsel who wears
the precious stone should have hand OF milk
white fairness. There are other conditions to be
observed In buying the engagement Rug, but as
they would not be needed refrain from mention
Ing them, merely adding it is not admissible for
youth to run In debt or TO spout his overcOat to
crafty the vanity Of his best and only girl

A NOVEL BET.

While / am not a betting man,
said F. j. Cheney, Of the firm of +.
J. Cheney & Co., considered it my
religious duty to make that fellow a
bet; you see he was about dead, and
| guess he would of died before
Spring, if I had not of got him on
the bet. You know some men had
rather loose their life than lose a
hundred; well he was one of that
kind, aud we both came near being
out, but | saved my hundred and it
only cost him ten dollars. How's
that He sent for me one day and
said the doctors he'd all given him
up to die, with the catarrh. l told
him that ! would bet him 800 that
Halls Catarrh Cure would cure him
or would give him 800 if it failed.
He took the latter proposition. This
was three months ago; you see how
he looks now, don't you; as well as

Why You Shouldn't Snub q

Don't snub Il boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison, the
inventor of the telephone, first en-.
tered Boston he wore a pair of vel.
low linen breeches in the depth OF
winter.
Don't snub a boy because his
home is plain and unpretending
Abraham Lincoln's early home wa:
a log cabin.
Don't snub boy because of q
dullncss in lis lesson. Hogarth, the
celebrated painter and engraver, was
a dull boy at his books.
Don't snub boy because of the
ignorance of his parents. Shakes
peare, the worlds poet, was the son
Of man who was unable to write
his own name.
Don't snub boy because h,
chooses an humble trade. The au
thor of Pilgrims Progress wal

Don't snub a boy because of phys

Don't snub Q boy because h
suffers. Demosthenes, the grea

I" Died Of Whiskey."
GOLDEN LAKE, ARK,
Aug. 3l. 1887.


Ifepitaphs always represented the
whole truth, these words would be
cut on many a tombstone; not only
on the rough stones that mark the
graves Of the humble and the poor,
but also on the marble shafts that
rise above the dust Of the children
Of wealth aud genius would appear
the words, "Died of Whisky"
How sad and humiliating the rec.
ord; what volumes are contained in
three words! Read them; ponder
them; be warned by them. They
will give you food for thought; they
tell Of character ruined, money
squandered, families beggared. hopes
crushed, minds besotted and souls
lost. They will recall sad memories
in the life Of every reader. There
10 not . man, now living, of middle
age, who, ii he will let his memory
wander back twenty years, but can
recall the face OF some dear relative,
friend or acquaintance, of whom he
must acknowledge 1t can truthfully
be said, "Died of Whisky" NJ,
that the kind and considerate physi.
clan 30 pronounced; not that the
family of the deceased SO admitted;
but still, the sober, candid conc lu.
sion Of the interested as well as the
disinterested, il they would but give
utterance to their honest convictions,
the verdict would be, d" died of whis.
KY" Dear reader, recall the past,
and see how many start up at mcm-
ory's bidding TO attest .hese facts;
young men Of fine talents and bril-
liant promise promise; men of ma.
ture years, and the best capacity for
professional or practical business;
old men, whose last years grew
darker and more sorrowful AZ they
FASTENED to complete their epitaphs,
Died OF Whiskey."
Thus, from all classes, swell the
great army of victims to the insatiate
demon; in the battle of life, warn.
ings are abundant and impressive
against . desth by whiskey. Know
ing, then, all the evil that whiskcy
has done, and all the evil that it is
now doing, can any man who loves
his race, refuse to take up arms
against such q foe? To preserve
life, is offered here this local option
bill; it 10 90 safe and harmless that
none need fear; its motto is "peace,
good will"
Let every man his name record,
and let his vote be aye! then will old

If the members of the "Anti- Pow.
erty" party really believe the public
domain is the "birthright of the peo.
pie" why don'ts majority Of them
desert the cities of the East, go west
and claim their birthrIght. There's
land enough for all, and to spare, and
SO long as the 'birthnght' remains un.
claimed the anti.povertyites have lit.
tie cause for grumbling. But claim.
ing their 'birthright' is just the thing
they won't do. They prefer the fet,
id atmosphere and excitmnet Of the
crowded city to the pure air and
quiet comforts Of their "birthright"
soll. Whyf because to render the
"birthright" valuable, healthy labor
ia necessary. The "birthright" of
the average snti.Povertyite is an
aversion to honest labor.-f/ndxs-
